Summary

Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.4 and 26.6 are affected by an infinite loop in the SAML 1.1 assertion parser, classified as CWE-835. The loop occurs when the parser handles an AuthorityBinding element within an authentication statement, following an incomplete fix for an earlier flaw. An unauthenticated remote attacker can make the parser consume all available memory, crashing the entire Keycloak service and making it unavailable to users.

Description from the CNA

A flaw was found in the SAML 1.1 assertion parser of Keycloak, a tool used for identity and access management. The issue occurs when the parser handles a specific element called AuthorityBinding within an authentication statement. Due to an incomplete fix for a previous vulnerability, the parser can enter an infinite loop that consumes all available memory, causing the entire Keycloak service to crash and become unavailable to users.
